You have never heard of this or you cannot do it????????

I seem to remember hearing that as long as you had a copy of the original U1 for a heat exchanger/vessel you could do an exact duplicate without worrying about how Code has changed over the years. I've always been skeptical of this but the person who told me it was very bright and hardly ever...

1 series 2 parallel means you need 2 shells next to each other with 1/2 the flow going into each. 2 series 5 parallel basically means 5 next to each other with one exchanger stacked on top of each (10 total). you'd have 20% of the flow going through each and then going through the exchanger on...

You'd have a tough time convincing me to ever make the holes 1/64" larger than the tube OD. I would not want to have to deal with the shop's complaints.

thanks for the input davefitz. very helpful.

i have received some clarification of the process. apparently all they want is to cool the steam and then condense it. NO SUBCOOLING REQUIRED. so i guess my question now is if there are any tips anyone can provide? i apologize if these seem like dumb questions. again, although i am not new...

oops...not sure how to edit my post.....steam is in the shell

rmw...I'll give you all of the details that I have. I am being asked to design a vertical condenser with steam in the tubes. 45700 #/hr at 65 psia and 323F. The condensing temp is 298F. They are asking for an outlet temp of 190F. Water in tubes, minimum of 2 passes. Now to me, it...

Perhaps someone can help me. My mentor recently passed away (unexpectedly) and I am now doing designs that I am unfamiliar with. I have to design a steam condenser with subcooling. The steam (47500 #/hr) simply enters at 65 psia and 323F. Cools to 298F, condenses, and then condensate cools...
